What's stopping me from getting funding then just not finishing the game? This is the one thing I can't figure out.

Octopus city blues has only 20 hours left to go in its campaign for the most authentic Octopus City simulation out there. $1 gets you dinner with the creator! (airfare to Kuwait, lodging, and food not included.)

Seriously, this looks like a cool game and I hope it gets the extra $2000 for the New Game +++ stretch goal. I'd use it.

Hey I know this guy's brother! Kuwait is a small place. I guess I should feel guilty for not funding this.

That's using Kickstarter like the first round of venture capitalist money, except without the pesky issue of having to pay your funders a cut of the profits. Which as the Oculus Rift sale showed pisses people off big time.

I mean, you're paying for a copy of the game. You're not an investor at all, they're basically taking a very early pre-order. Sometimes you pre-order a game based on hype and it turns out differently from what you thought.
